SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Edmonton Oilers acquired goaltender Cam Talbot and a seventh-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft from the New York Rangers on Saturday for three picks.
The Rangers received picks Nos. 57, 79 and 184 in the 2015 draft. The Oilers got the No. 209 pick from New York.
The Oilers had been in the market for a goaltender because of uncertainty at the position. Talbot was 21-9-4 with a .926 save percentage and 2.21 goals-against average in 36 appearances last season, including an 8-3-1 record with a .946 save percentage and 1.66 GAA in March, when he was filling in for Henrik Lundqvist, who was out with a neck injury.
Talbot is 33-15-5 with a .931 save percentage and 2.00 GAA in 57 career appearances. He became Lundqvist's full-time backup early in the 2013-14 season.
The Rangers later traded the No. 57 pick to the Washington Capitals for picks No. 62 and 113. The Capitals selected Swiss defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler.
